Will a DVD player work with a computer monitor?


I don't want to own a TV (too ugly), so I was wondering if a stand-alone DVD player will work with a computer monitor?

thanks,ken

There is no direct way to just hook up a DVD player to most computer (VGA) moniters. The best way would be to get a computer with a DVD player in it. Or to get the right video card (that will accept video in.

There may be some adapter you can get that will convert a component video signal to a VGA signal that can be run to a computer. HOWEVER, if this does exist, it will cost $100 to $200+. I say this because there is an adapter that converts a VGA signal to component to digital component video (made by RCA, I use it to hook up my RCA HDTV receiver to my Sony HD compatible set). This adapter ran about $170 or so new.

Good Luck!
